Inventor: HARTWALL JOHN
IPC: A47F/
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a sales rack for bottles, especially for bottles 3 of the Ref-PET type, which are provided with a horizontal flange 6 in the neck region. The sales rack comprises rail components 2, supported by a frame part 1 and fixed in the frame part 1 by their one end so that the bottles 3 can be placed on the rail components 2 via their ends directed towards the frame part and removed from the rail components 2 via the ends facing away from the frame part 1. The rail components 2 have been arranged in pairs at a distance apart essentially corresponding to the thickness of the bottle neck, such that, when the neck of a bottle 3 is placed between the rail components, the bottle gets trapped by its flange 6 on the bearing surface formed by adjacent rail components 2. In order to prevent the bottles from sliding out, the rail components 2, at their ends directed towards the frame part 1, have been configured such that the bottles 3 can be guided on the rail components 2 only in an inclined position. <IMAGE>

Inventor: GOULAIT DAVID JOSEPH KENNETH
IPC: B31D1/00
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of one-piece tape tabs to be used with disposable absorbent articles. The first step is to provide a backing substrate upon which the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the tape tab can be applied. Once the backing is provided, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to regions of one side of the backing substrate. The backing substrate is then slit in a direction parallel to the machine direction forming tape tab stock that is preferably fed directly to the taper unit of the absorbent article manufacturing line. The taper unit cuts the tape tab stock comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive into individual tape tabs, each having a fixed end and releasable end. The fixed end of each tape tab is joined to the chassis of an absorbent article by means of mechanically bonding the fixed end to the absorbent article. The mechanical bonding not only joins the fixed end of the tape tab to the absorbent article, but also forms a region on the outwardly facing surface of the fixed end of the tape tab that acts as a release surface for the pressure-sensitive adhesive. In preferred embodiments, an area of the absorbent article adjacent to the fixed end of the tape tab is also subjected to mechanical bonding. The mechanical bonding forms a region on the surface of the absorbent article that acts a release surface for the pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the releasable end of each tape tab.

Title: Improvements in or relating to mixing circuits
IPC: H03D7/14
Filed: 1947-01-14
Abstract: 620,271. Valve circuits. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. Jan. 14, 1947, No. 1260. Convention date, Nov. 12, 1943. [Class 40 (v)] In a U.H.F. mixing circuit in which an improved signal to noise ratio and reduced damping of the input circuit is obtained hy applying the incoming signals in push-pull and the local oscillations in phase to a pair of valves, damping of the local oscillator by the inductance of the lead connecting the cathodes of the mixing and local oscillator valves in common to earth, is reduced by connecting between the common cathode point and earth an impedance constituted by the impedances of the two halves of the push-pull circuit and of the two input circuits connected in parallel and tuned so that a maximum voltage at the local oscillator frequency is set up between the input electrodes of the mixing valves. The figure shows an arrangement in which signals from dipole aerials D are applied to a pair of diodes via Lecher lines L1, which are tuned to the frequency of the incoming signals by short-circuiting bridge K. The local oscillator comprises a triode valve coupled to the mixer at the common cathode point P. The I.F. is taken off from the Lecher lines and tuned by circuit L4, C4. The damping of the local oscillator is reduced by tuning the impedance Z1, in parallel with the impedance between point P and earth via the mixer valves, to the frequency of the local oscillations. The local oscillator voltage appearing across the input electrodes of the mixing valves is further increased by adjustment of the variable impedance Z2. To reduce radiation of the' local oscillator frequency, the aerial is connected to a voltage node for the local oscillations whilst correct matching of the aerial to the mixer is maintained by adjusting impedance Z2. The impedance Z4 which is usually capacitive is then adjusted to give maximum voltage at the local oscillator frequency across the mixing diodes, the inductors Z3 being of high value and having negligible influence on the tuning of the push-pull circuit. The aerial may alternatively be connected to a voltage node point by including a circuit resonant at the local oscillator frequency between the points of connection of the aerial and earth.

Filed: 1941-01-31
Abstract: 548,246. Drilling diamonds. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and EDEN, C. G. Jan. 31, 1941, No. 1296. [Class 83 (iii)] In drilling diamonds the drill and diamond are periodically separated by frictionally acting means having a constant stroke independent of the depth of penetration. Re-engagement takes place under the control of the same mechanism instead of by the feed spring so that shock is avoided. The diamond holder 24 is mounted on a wheeled carriage 25 fed towards the drill 21 by a spring 26. A sleeve 30 mounted on a post 31 carries a driven cam 34 that depresses a leaf spring 27 fixed at 28 and carrying a projection 32 formed from or tipped with friction material such as fibre. The proportions of the parts are such that after the projection contacts the surface 33 further depression of the spring 27 by the cam causes the end of the projection to move towards the right in the Figure. The extent of the movement can'be varied by adjusting the sleeve by the screw 35 or by changing the cam. The means may be employed for any purpose where it is necessary to produce at regular intervals a displacement of a body constrained to move along a prescribed path that is independent of the position of the body.

[Also in Group XXXVI] Apparatus for locating the position of an electrically-conducting member, e.g. the surface of a mercury column in a glass tube, comprises a tuned T-network containing a coil whose inductance is variable by the conductive member to affect the reading on a tuned meter. As shown (Figs. 3, 4) for measuring the rate of flow of molten metal in a pipe 30, a manometer 33 is attached to span a nozzle 34 in the pipe, the height of liquid in the legs 31, 32 being determined by movable coils 37, 38 respectively, selectively connected in parallel with capacitors 55, 56. The coils are first separately adjusted to resonate when the surface of the liquid metal is in the centre of each coil. To measure the fluid flow, coil 37 is moved to give a minimum reading on output meter 62, then switches 50, 51 are operated and coil 38 is similarly moved to give minimum reading on meter 62. The difference in height is the pressure drop across the nozzle 34 and therefore indicative of the fluid flow. The apparatus may be used to determine the movement of a metal diaphragm adjacent the tuned coil.

Title: Apparatus for use in an assembly for driving rotary implements
IPC: F16D67/02
Filed: 1977-01-17
Abstract: The clutch device has a friction clutch (15) which is engaged automatically by spring force (20) and connects the output shaft (11) to a tool carrier (19), e.g. for driving the cutting blade (12) of a lawnmower. To release the clutch use is made of a switching device (16), operated by spring force (17), which can be moved back manually with little expenditure of force. The clutch and switching device contain force-multiplying means (45, 46) based on a wedge effect. A movable clutch part (21), connected to the tool carrier in terms of driving, and a switching element (62), acting on the said clutch part, of the switching device can simultaneously be designed as a brake (14) which comes into effect when the clutch is released. For driving the tool carrier, the switching device is moved back. This releases the brake and the clutch engages automatically. When the switching device is released, this automatically brings about the release of the clutch and the braking of the tool carrier so that, for example, when the lawnmower is left, a dangerous situation does not arise. <IMAGE>
